Photo by: @hiddenwwi | Century-old carving depicting Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm as a pig. “God strike them Kaiser” is written above the pig in German. This may have been created by German WWI soldiers who were demoralized at the end of WWI or it may have been created by American WWI soldiers who occupied this large underground city in 1918 near the end of WWI.

It’s hard to imagine the shear size of this place. Under private farmland in the beautiful French countryside, it is approximately 100 acres in size and takes hours to walk. At one time it was lit with electric lights and had telephone lines connecting every part of the underground city. Now it lies in complete darkness. There is a telecommunications center where the trunk lines hang down following what was undoubtedly violent underground combat with shrapnel damage peppering the ceiling and walls. Initially occupied by the French, this space was then taken over by the Germans and then by Americans.
